Four makeup removers you need to try!

My time as a professional model has led me on the hunt for one beauty item in particular: a makeup remover that actually works. Nothing is worse than waking up in the morning and looking like a raccoon, even though you spent five minutes taking off your makeup. I’ve tried tons of brands and every kind of formula you could believe: cream, wipes, oil-free, face wash… the list could go on forever. After years of testing, I now have a list of makeup removing champions I want to share with you.

This is by far the best remover for heavy, night out eyes! At first glance, it will look weird to most – it is in a metal tin and has the consistency of petroleum. But don’t let that fool you! Taking just a dab and massaging it onto your eyelid for 30 seconds will break down any and all makeup. Simply wipe away with a tissue and you are makeup free. It’s full of vitamin E and other great moisturizers, so if your skin is in need of a pick-me-up, you don’t have to wash the product off because it works as a moisturizer too!

I’m a makeup wipe lover. I find them to be the easiest, most efficient and to travel the best. I’ve had problems with some wipes breaking my skin out, but these wipes are absolutely perfect. They are pre-moistened enough that you don’t have to add water, great for traveling or when you need to take your makeup off in a pinch. Pond’s has many formulas for their wipes, so there is bound to be one perfect for you. My pick is the Luminous Clean; they make my skin feel super soft and fresh.

If you love wearing eyeliner but hate taking it off, this product is for you. Dip a q-tip in this remover to easily take off any eyeliner, even if it is waterproof. I wouldn’t recommend this as a full-face makeup remover because it can leave your face feeling too saturated, but it is fantastic for eyes. I’ve struggled with getting all of my mascara off at night, but this product does the trick!

It’s a fact that you don’t have to spend a fortune to find a makeup remover that works- this product proves that! These remove all your makeup – foundation, eyeliner and mascara – and leave your skin feeling refreshed with a slight scent of cucumber. The sealing plastic top makes these wipes great for travel or keeping in a gym bag or purse.

Waking up looking like a raccoon will be a thing of the past if you grab one of these makeup removers. Keep your skin clean, healthy and refreshed with one or all of these great products.
